Treating Broken Bone Fractures in a survival situation

There are basically two types of bone fractures: open and closed. With an open (or compound) fracture, the bone protrudes through the skin and complicates the actual fracture with an open wound. You should splint the injured area and continually monitor blood flow past the injury and only reposition the break if there is no blood flow. The closed fracture has no open wounds. Follow the guidelines for immobilization and splint the fracture. http://wildernessarena.com/skills/first-aid-health-and-first-aid/treating-broken-bones

Lighting a fire for survival

Always light your fire from the upwind side. Make sure you lay the tinder, kindling, and fuel so that your fire will burn as long as you need it. Igniters provide the initial heat required to start the tinder burning. They fall into two categories: modern methods and primitive methods. http://wildernessarena.com/food-water-shelter/firecraft/lighting-a-fire

Amazing hole-in-one golf shot - ball teed off into sand trap and then mysteriously spits back out into the hole

Hole-in-one golf shots are always entertaining but this one is particularly stunning. Watch as Australian golfer Richard Green tees off on the par-four 15th hole and shanks it right into a sand bunker before turning away in disgust. The ball disappears into the bunker and then as if by magic, spits right back out (at a near right angle) and rolls into the hole. http://geekslop.com/2015/amazing-hole-in-one-golf-shot-into-sand-bunker-trap

The controversial works of Charlie Hebdo offend more than just Muslims

When masked gunmen stormed the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, they were heard to shout “Allahu Akbar” or “God is Great” in Arabic. That the attackers were Muslim terrorists is without question. So what had Charlie Hebdo published to upset followers of Islam? Turns out they have a long history of satirical (and vulgar) “comedy” aimed at religion – Islam in particular. Here’s a sample along with explanations of what the cartoons depict. http://geekslop.com/2015/controversial-works-of-charlie-hebdo-offend-more-than-just-followers-of-islam

Who says the French are sissies - France and other European nations take to the street in support of Charlie Hebdo

After three masked gunmen killed 12 in the offices of left-wing magazine Charlie Hebdo, the French quickly took to the streets showing the world they are not afraid. Marching under the banner of “Je Suis Charlie” or “I am Charlie”, demonstrators in France, England, Spain, Germany, and Italy hit the streets creating a somber but exciting display of solidarity. Their message was clear – “We will not change our lifestyles or beliefs under threat of terrorists.” http://geekslop.com/2015/france-other-nations-take-to-street-in-support-of-charlie-hebdo-jesuischarlie-iamcharlie

US-CERT released alert TA14-353A today detailing a “SMB Worm Tool” recently used by cyber threat actors against a “major entertainment company”. Given the timing of the US formal accusations against North Korea, this certainly hints that the malware toolset being referenced is the one used by the Guardians of Peace (GOP) in the recent Sony Entertainment Pictures attack and data breach. Given my initial review of the malware’s characteristics – now I’m a little more impressed. http://geekslop.com/2014/details-on-smb-worm-tool-likely-used-in-sony-attack-complete-breakdown

A Pastebin dump attributed to Guardians of Peace (GOP) was released a few hours ago followed by the purported screenplay for the upcoming movie The Interview. In the dump, the GOP continued to harp on their Christmas Day threat while including an invite to the public for special “requests”. The dump included another little surprise too – a threat to anyone who attends The Interview movie. http://geekslop.com/2014/guardians-peace-gop-release-sony-ceo-outlook-data-file-threat-movie-goers

Hands on installation with North Korea's official Red Star 3.0 Server operating system

Red Star OS, North Korea’s official Red Hat-based Linux distro, is very easy to install in a VM. Given recent revelations of its many security holes, it’s an excellent opportunity to install the operating system in a local VM and then pound it for vulnerability assessment. At the very least, this will let you derive a baseline vulnerability footprint irrespective of any firewalls or security protection devices that a real North Korean target may be running. http://geekslop.com/2015/installing-north-koreas-official-red-star-3-0-server-operating-system
